I think overall this crop of LBs is very green.
All but one are on rookie contracts.
And the only veteran just came in this offseason and is a journeyman backup.
The ones on rookie contracts are 3rd round picks or later.
What the Bengals probably really need:
- A better defensive scheme
- 1-2 high draft picks (rds 1-2) or proven veterans. I know just because you pick a LB in Rd 1 or 2 won't automatically make them better than what the Bengals have, but the likelihood of getting a good player should increase the earlier in the draft because the player pool is bigger. Some guys I like are Micah Parsons, Dylan Moses, and Nick Bolton. Also would love Matt Milano from BUF if looking at FA.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
